Kids push for pecan pie as the official Texas pie

From bluebonnets to jalapeños, Texas has a whole list of state symbols. But believe it or not, that list does not include an official pie.

But that could change if a group of determined school children have their way.

Kelly Hancock made the following announcement after Senate District 9 voters chose him as their new State Senator.

 

Governor Mike Huckabee and Huck PAC have endorsed Rep. Kelly Hancock in his campaign for Senate District 9.  Governor Huckabee made the following statement regarding the endorsement:

Today marks one of the most historic decisions of modern time.  Not only was the ACA upheld but it will be the largest individual tax increase we have ever seen.   So, what is next?   NOVEMBER.  Your vote matters.  Your vote not only determines who represents you, but in the case of legislation and appointments, determines the future of our country, our state and our future generations.  

Rep. Kelly Hancock has won the Republican nomination in Senate District 9. Hancock made the following statement:

“Todd Smith has been a committed public servant to the people of House District 92, and I thank him for his service to our State. I am honored and humbled to have the support of Senate District 9 families. North Texas families deserve the kind of principled, conservative leadership that will keep Texans working, taxes low, and family values protected, so we can have an even better Texas for our children and grandchildren. We will continue to work hard getting our message out to voters between now and November.”

“This campaign report is shocking. My opponent broke his promise to not accept trial lawyer money. Trial lawyers’ first choice is always a liberal Democrat. When voters reject them, they support liberals like Todd Smith,” said Hancock. “Clearly Smith hid his intention of taking this liberal money by waiting until the very last moment. There are probably no more than a handful of Republicans in our Senate district who would support Smith once they learn what Smith has done. Smith has brought shame on everyone who once trusted him with their support.”

Retired teachers and the Texas Home School Coalition are joining together in support of Rep. Kelly Hancock for Senate District 9. The endorsement of dozens of local retired teachers and the home school community exhibit Hancock’s broad support of individuals concerned about the quality of education our children receive.

Tim Lambert, President, Texas Home School Coalition, said, “Kelly Hancock has been a champion for protecting the rights of parents to teach their children at home. The Texas Home School Coalition is supporting Kelly Hancock for Senate because we know he will do what’s right for parents, families, and education.”

 

More than 40 Republican precinct chairs have joined Tom Pauken, former Texas Republican Party Chairman and Reagan Administration official, in endorsing Rep. Kelly Hancock for Senate District 9.  

The Tarrant Republican Club PAC has endorsed Rep. Kelly Hancock for Senate District 9 in the Primary, for being the candidate who will be the strongest advocate of the Texas Republican Party Platform.

“Kelly Hancock is the conservative candidate in this race and the Tarrant Republican Club is pleased to give him our full support and endorsement. Kelly’s conservative record is unmatched and we are enthusiastic to help him become the next Senator for Senate District 9,” said Tarrant Republican Club President Curtis McCaffity.
